Book Review: Throttle Me (Men of Inked #1) by Chelle Bliss

I am such a sucker for good girl meets bad boy romance. What first drew me to read this book was the title. I mean, Throttle Me just screams amazingly hot and rough sex and I am all about that! Yes please and thank you.

So Suzy is your typical good girl: school teacher, doesn't swear and has a plan outlines for her future. And that plan does not include tattooed, motorcycle riding bad boys. If you ask me, her plan sucks. City is a tattoo artist covered in ink and piercings and he is drawn to Suzy's innocence. he loves that she is a good girl but knows that there is a dirty side of her hiding under the surface. And he is just the guy to bring it out. To corrupt her. What starts out as just one night of passion turns into days and then weeks. But can Suzy stop over thinking and just see where this thing with City goes? And can City open his heart to love again after having it shattered once before?

This was a fairly quick and enjoyable read. I loved so much about City. Yeah he's got the tattoos and is pierced in all the right places but ultimately its that filthy mouth that I love the most. The sexy times were h-o-t which is a must for me. And I appreciated that the angst was kept to a minimum. I mean I like an angst filled story as much as the next girl, but I also like a book that gives my heart a break from all of it. Those of you who enjoy reading about bad boys will love City.

Favorite Quotes

"I want to taste that sweet pussy of yours. I'm going to devour you until you're begging for my dick, sugar."

"We aren't done. I want to bury my face in between your legs and make you scream again."

She was the girl next door, the untouched bookworm that every guy wanted to conquer. I wanted to make her dirty. I wanted to make her scream filthy words while I fucked her. I wanted to corrupt this girl in the worse possible way.

Excerpt

“What’s for dessert?” I asked as he closed the door.
“Anything you want, sugar.”
“You know what I want,” I said with a smile that was anything but innocent.
“Are you up to it?” he asked with a look of concern. “Question is, big boy, are you up to it?” He laughed. “Don’t ask questions if you can’t handle the hearing the answer. Eat your food and I’ll show you how up to it I am, sugar.” He placed a giant piece of lasagna with cheese oozing out in front of me. My stomach growled at the smell and the feeling of hunger finally hit me. I wanted him and I figured that if I challenged his manhood, he’d finally cave. All men are the same in that regard. I cut into the slice and watched all the insides squish onto my plate. The hot lasagna spread across my tongue and I wanted to moan from the taste.
“That good, huh?” City asked as he scooped a chunk in his mouth.
“What? Did I?”
“Yep, you moaned, sugar.”
My face became heated. “Well, I’m used to Stouffer’s lasagna. This is amazing, City. You don’t know how lucky you were to grow up on this type of home cooking.” I slid the fork across my tongue and slowly chewed, letting all the flavors dance on my tongue.
“I never thought about it. Suzy, you keep making noises like that and I won’t let you finish the next bite.” He set the fork on his plate and stared at me.
“I need my fuel to get better.” I placed another sliver in my mouth, closed my eyes, and made a small sound in the back of my throat.
“You have thirty seconds to finish what’s in front of you before I take your ass in the bedroom and give you something to really moan about.” He crossed his arms over his chest and looked at the watch on his wrist. I shoveled the food in my mouth. I felt torn in this moment, but the lasagna could always be reheated.
“Fifteen.” He smiled at me and I felt everything in my body convulse and scream to be touched. I shoveled another forkful in my mouth as I chewed like a maniac.
“Five.”
“Wait!” I held up my hand. “I need something to drink,” I said as I hopped off the high top chair around my café table.
“I got something for you to wash that down with, sugar. Time’s up.”
